TFCCE adopts the chirp signal excitation scheme and strikes a balance in the selection of sub-signal bandwidth, the bandwidth overlap and the number of sub-strain image based on theoretical derivation, so as to further improve the quality of elastic image. Experiments have proved that, compared with the other optimizing methods, the elastographyic signal-to-noise ratio(Re-SN) and contrast-to-noise ratio(Re-CN) are improved significantly with different echo signal-to-noise ratios (ReSN) and attenuation coefficients. When ReSN is 50 dB, compared with short pulse, Rc-SN and Re-CN obtained by TFCCE increase by 53% and 143%, respectively. Moreover, in a deeper investigation (85-95 mm), the image has lower strain noise and clear details. When the attenuation coefficient is in the range of 0-1 dB/(cm.MHz), Re-SN and Re-CN obtained by TFCCE can be kept in moderate ranges of 5〈Re-SN〈6.8 and 11.4〈Re-CN〈15.2, respectively. In particular, for higher tissue attenuation, the basic image quality cannot be ensured with short pulse excitation, while mediocre quality strain figure can be obtained by TFCCE. Therefore, the TFCCE technology can effectively improve the elastography quality and can be applied to ultrasonic clinical trials.展开更多

First, the 3D modeling software Proe was used to establish the geometric model of the upper and lower cover of the correction tape box, and introduced into the plastic injection analysis software Moldflow. Secondly, the upper and the lower cover of the correction tape box were meshed and the initial gating system was designed in Moldflow. Filling analysis of the initial scheme of the correction tape box combined cavity showed that the runner of the melt was not balanced in the mold cavity. Finally, the runner balance optimization analysis of the cavities was carried out. Through optimization, the time unbalance rate of the melt in the mold cavity decreased from 28.6% to 0.7%, the pressure unbalance rate decreased from 42.0% to 4.2%, and the pressure distribution in the cavity was more uniform in the whole injection process.展开更多

摘要To improve the quality of ultrasonic elastography, by taking the advantage of code excitation and frequency compounding, a transmitting-side multi-frequency with coded excitation for elastography (TFCCE) was proposed. TFCCE adopts the chirp signal excitation scheme and strikes a balance in the selection of sub-signal bandwidth, the bandwidth overlap and the number of sub-strain image based on theoretical derivation, so as to further improve the quality of elastic image. Experiments have proved that, compared with the other optimizing methods, the elastographyic signal-to-noise ratio(Re-SN) and contrast-to-noise ratio(Re-CN) are improved significantly with different echo signal-to-noise ratios (ReSN) and attenuation coefficients. When ReSN is 50 dB, compared with short pulse, Rc-SN and Re-CN obtained by TFCCE increase by 53% and 143%, respectively. Moreover, in a deeper investigation (85-95 mm), the image has lower strain noise and clear details. When the attenuation coefficient is in the range of 0-1 dB/(cm.MHz), Re-SN and Re-CN obtained by TFCCE can be kept in moderate ranges of 5〈Re-SN〈6.8 and 11.4〈Re-CN〈15.2, respectively. In particular, for higher tissue attenuation, the basic image quality cannot be ensured with short pulse excitation, while mediocre quality strain figure can be obtained by TFCCE. Therefore, the TFCCE technology can effectively improve the elastography quality and can be applied to ultrasonic clinical trials.

摘要Aiming at the problem of runner unbalance in the compounding cavity of the upper and lower cover of the correction tape box, the plastic injection analysis software Moldflow was used to optimize runner balance. First, the 3D modeling software Proe was used to establish the geometric model of the upper and lower cover of the correction tape box, and introduced into the plastic injection analysis software Moldflow. Secondly, the upper and the lower cover of the correction tape box were meshed and the initial gating system was designed in Moldflow. Filling analysis of the initial scheme of the correction tape box combined cavity showed that the runner of the melt was not balanced in the mold cavity. Finally, the runner balance optimization analysis of the cavities was carried out. Through optimization, the time unbalance rate of the melt in the mold cavity decreased from 28.6% to 0.7%, the pressure unbalance rate decreased from 42.0% to 4.2%, and the pressure distribution in the cavity was more uniform in the whole injection process.

摘要Volatile organic compounds(VOCs)are the main chemical compounds that determine the characteristic aroma and flavor of fruit.In this study,we identified a total of 97 VOCs,including 5C6 compounds,12 aldehydes,4 alcohols,10 esters,13 lactones,18 terpenes,8 norisoprenoids,8 ketones,3 hydrocarbons,8 phenylalanine derivates,and 8 other compounds,in 60 peach cultivars using headspace solid-phase microextraction(HS-SPME)combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry(GC-MS).A wide range of VOCs were detected in these germplasm resources with respect to both quantity and concentration.Correlation analysis with different physiological traits demonstrated that the genetic background exerts a significant influence on the composition and content of VOCs among peach cultivars.For example,the content of norisoprenoid was significantly lower in yellow-fleshed peach than in white-fleshed peach,and lactones were almost undetectable in stony hard peach.Among the 97 VOCs,26 exhibited odor activity values(OAVs)exceeding 1,suggesting that these compounds act as key odorants in the peach VOC composition.Moreover,six structural genes associated with the synthesis of γ-decalactone and(Z)-3-hexenyl acetate and five genes linked to aldehyde and 1-octen-3-one biosynthesis were identified through weighted gene co-expression network analysis(WGCNA).Additionally,15 transcription factors(TFs)were identified as potentially regulating VOC synthesis.Overall,these data provide insight into the factors contributing to the differences in aroma qualities among peach cultivars,which can help to promote the development of peach breeding.

摘要Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 2(SHP2)is a pivotal regulator linking receptor tyrosine kinase(RTK)signaling.Abnormal SHP2 activity has been associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis.Although some SHP2-targeting modulators have entered clinical trials,U.S.Food and Drug Administraction(FDA)-approved SHP2 targeting drugs are still not available.Herein,we describe cooperative biochemical inhibition experiments that facilitate the identification of both catalytic and allosteric SHP2 inhibitors using an in-house natural product(NP)library.Based on this screening methodology,structurally diverse sets of NPs were characterized,among which dihydrotanshinone I(DHT)potently inhibited the wild-type SHP2 protein tyrosine phosphatase(PTP)domain and gain-of-function SHP2 variants.Trichostatin A(TSA)bound to the“tunnel”binding site,acting as an allosteric inhibitor.This study illustrates an optimized screening methodology and tactics to identify novel SHP2 modulators from NPs and provides a foundation for further NP-based drug development for the treatment of RTK-driven cancer.

摘要In the conventional water treatment process,algae have a propensity to breach the filter barriers and potentially seep into the water distribution system,leading to an elevation in taste and odor compounds(T&O compounds).This investigation delved into the seasonal fluctuations of algae penetration and the production of T&O compounds within the treatment units of Reservoir Water Plant 1(W1)and River Water Plant 2(W2).The findings indicated that despite the application of the‘pre-oxidation,coagulation and sedimentation(PCS),sand filtration,and disinfection’process,certain robust-walled filamentous Cyanobacteria,Bacillariophyta species,and small Chlorophyta genera managed to bypass the filters.The leakage of algal cells during autumn at W1 was particularly striking,with a peak of 1,170,000 cells/L.The concurrent assessment of the potential for T&O compound formation revealed an alarming high potential for 2-methylisoborneol(2-MIB)in the water leaving the plants,with concentrations soaring to 197.20 ng/L at W1 in autumn and 54.78 ng/L at W2 in summer.This underscores the significant capacity of residual algal cells to generate T&O compounds.Tracking the retention and penetration dynamics of algal cells across each drinking water treatment stage is crucial for surface water treatment facilities to develop effective operational and management strategies,thereby enhancing the safety and quality of drinking water for the end consumer.

摘要Evaporative and refuelling emissions are a major source of volatile organic compound(VOC)contamination,contributing to ground-level ozone formation in China.To meet increasingly stringent evaporative emission control requirements,a growing number of newly certified vehicles have adopted onboard refuelling vapour recovery systems and updated canisters.This study aimed to evaluate the impact of vehicle and fuel specifications on evaporative and refuelling emissions from China-6 light-duty vehicles(LDVs).Two groups of experiments were conducted.In the first group,28 tests were performed on China-6 LDVs and 24 on China-5 LDVs.The results showed that emissions from China-6 LDVs were significantly lower than those from China-5 LDVs in terms of total hydrocarbon emissions and diurnal losses over 0–24 h,with lower variability.In the second group,seven petrol fuel samples with varying aromatic formulations,ethanol contents,and vapour pressures were tested.Evaporative emissions and refuelling emissions were measured following China-6 procedures,while speciated VOCs were also quantified.The results showed that higher molecular weight aromatics more effectively suppressed evaporative emissions than toluene.Both E5 and E10 fuels increased vapour leakage during the diurnal-loss stage.Diurnal loss and refuelling emissions increased significantly with rising fuel Reid vapor pressure,particularly after the canister breakthrough on the second day.Speciated VOC analysis revealed that light alkanes dominated the escaped fuel vapour.

摘要Halogens are common in industrial thermal processes and can induce formation of toxic organic pollutants.Currently,the specific effects of coexisting halogens on toxic pollutant formation are unclear.In this study,we found the boosting effects of halogens on organic pollutants formation during thermal processes.In situ electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to distinguish the organic free radical intermediates of organic pollutants during thermal processes.The pure chlorine-containing reaction system dominantly induce the formation of highly chlorinated phenoxy radicals,whereas the pure bromine-containing reaction system induce the formation of semiquinone radicals.The results provide clear evidence for the molecular mechanisms by which halogen coexistence boosts pollutants formation.Coexisting halogens made the reactions much more complex.Bromine atom radicals(Br·)can enhance the level of active chlorine atoms radicals(Cl·),then(1)facilitating highly chlorinated organic radicals and toxic pollutants formation,(2)activating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons molecules for subsequent ring growth and(3)accelerating oxidation reactions.Combining the identification of organic free radical intermediates and characteristics of products,detailed mechanisms of halogens on the formations of organic pollutants during thermal-related processes were clarified,which can be helpful for their efficient control in the widespread bromines and chlorines co-existence reaction system.

摘要Compound heat–humidity extremes(CTHEs)pose escalating threats to human health,particularly for vulnerable populations(children and elderly)with limited physiological adaptability.This study reveals the expansion of CTHE-active seasons across eastern China from 1961 to 2022.Southern China(SC)and the Yangtze–Huaihe region(YH)exhibit earlier onsets and delayed terminations,prolonging hazardous CTHE seasons by one month post-2015 in SC.The prolonged CTHE-active seasons,coupled with population growth,have driven sharp increases in exposure across eastern China,with annual CTHE and hazardous CTHE exposure increasing by 106 million and 78 million person-days since the 2000s.Vulnerable groups constitute 39%of total exposure,with 11%(CTHEs)and 34%(hazardous CTHEs)attributable to season prolongation.Mechanistically,an intensified and westward-extended western North Pacific subtropical high enhances diabatic heating and moisture advection,driving prolonged CTHE-active seasons in SC and YH.These findings quantify climate–demographic synergies in heat–health risks,providing a scientific basis for climate-resilient health strategies targeting age-sensitive populations in eastern China’s warming and humidifying hotspots.

摘要In recent decades,Southwest China(SWC)has suffered from frequent super droughts,leading to severe economic losses and ecological degradation.This study investigates the characteristics of super droughts in SWC during 1961-2022,reveals the compounding effect of multiscalar anomalies,and explores the plausible atmospheric circulation mechanisms responsible.The nature of super drought is a compound drought caused by the superposition of extreme drought events across multiple time scales.By contrasting the typical drought cases in 2006 and 2022,the decisive role of multiscalar drought compounding is confirmed.Based on the Comprehensive Multiscalar Index(CMI),multiple super drought events in SWC were identified to be temporally clustered during 2006-2014.Among them,the decadal background of enhanced evaporation and precipitation deficit at long time scales is a necessary condition for shaping the overall pattern of super droughts,while the precipitation and evaporation anomalies at short time scales trigger the outbreak of super droughts,determining the exact timing of occurrence.These events include August-September 2006,November 2009 to May 2010,July-October 2011,April-May 2012,January-April 2013,etc.Statistical results suggest that the contribution of superposed precipitation anomalies to super drought is 2.4 times that of evaporation.As regards the circulation mechanisms affecting multiscalar precipitation,the anomalous spatial patterns at short-term and long-term scales are similar,featuring the cyclonic circulation over the South China Sea and the northeasterly wind anomalies together with the subsidence center over SWC.During 2006-2014,the possible causes for the cross-seasonal persistent precipitation reduction in SWC are the extreme negative phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation(PDO)in the North Pacific as well as the pronounced warming of the warm pool in the western Pacific.The key dynamic processes are outlined as follows.On the one hand,the negative PDO phase generates anomalous anticyclonic circulation in the North Pacific,with the northeasterly winds on its southwest flank extending to Southeast Asia,hindering moisture transport into SWC.On the other hand,the warming of the warm pool excites anomalous cyclonic circulation to its northwest,also giving rise to northeasterly wind anomalies over SWC.Meanwhile,the ascending motion over the warm pool region diverges at upper levels with outflows converging aloft over SWC,which further induces compensating downward motion there.The combined effect of the above two remote forcings establishes a climatic background state unfavorable for precipitation over SWC at long time scales,thus constituting a crucial prerequisite for the superimposition of short-term precipitation anomalies to develop into super droughts.

摘要We report the discovery of bulk superconductivity in a new quinary intermetallic compound Th2Mo2Ru2Si4C,crystallized in a collapsed 22241-type structure.This structure is characterized by the intergrowth of ThMo2Si2C and ThRu2Si2 units interconnected by equivalent Si-Si bonds that enhance inter-sublattice coupling.The refined lattice parameters are a=4.2212(1)Å and c=20.3899(7)Å.Electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements of both polycrystalline and single-crystal samples consistently demonstrate bulk superconductivity with a transition temperature Tc∼6.0 K significantly higher than those of the constituent compound ThMo2Si2C and its related analogs.Under magnetic fields,the superconducting state exhibits a nearly isotropic behavior,which is attributed to strong covalent interlayer coupling.First-principles calculations reveal a substantial contribution from the Mo-d orbitals near the Fermi level,which exhibit several band-crossing points.The enhancement in Tc can be attributed to the synergistic combination of the valence electron concentration and the inter-sublattice self-doping effect between the[Ru2Si2]and[Mo2Si2C]layers.

摘要A new Ce-based compound Ce3VAs5has been synthesized at high-pressure and high-temperature conditions.The physical properties were investigated through the crystal structure,magnetism,electrical transport,and specific heat measurements.The compound crystallizes in a hexagonal Hf5Sn3Cu-anti-type structure with the space group of P63/mcm,which consists of face-sharing octahedral VAs6chains and zig-zag like Ce-chains along the c axis.It undergoes a ferromagnetic-like ordering at TN=14 K due to the Ce-lattice,and exhibits heavy fermion behavior with a Sommerfeld coefficient ofγ~128 mJ/(Ce-mol·K2).The Kondo temperature TK is determined to be~19 K.The deviation of paramagnetic susceptibility from Curie-Weiss law is related to the crystal electric field(CEF)effects,and the abnormal drop in the resistivity is attributed to the synergistic interaction between CEF effect and Kondo scattering.Due to its quasi one-dimensional structure,Ce3VAs5provides a good opportunity to study the anisotropy relative to Kondo effect in the future.

摘要Heavy metal pollution is becoming increasingly severe,and rare earth elements(REEs)play a crucial role in influencing the environmental impact of heavy metals.Mixed heavy metal pollution presents a significant challenge due to its complex effects.While many studies have focused on single heavy metal pollution,relatively few have examined the pollution caused by rare earth-heavy metal composites.This study investigated the toxic effects of Ce-Zn compound pollution on maize roots and used the integrated biomarker response(IBR)to assess the toxicity of different concentrations of Ce-Zn compound pollution on maize roots.The results showed that Ce-Zn compound pollution had a threshold effect:promoting maize growth at low concentrations but inhibiting growth at a threshold concentration of Ce 50 mg/kg-Zn 50 mg/kg.Ce-Zn compound pollution-induced oxidative stress in maize.When the pollution concentration exceeded the threshold,the H2O2content in maize roots increased by 3.30 and 3.56 times,respectively,compared to the CK group,while the O2-content increased by 1.45 and1.48 times,respectively.Cell structure damage was observed,and the levels of antioxidant enzymes—peroxidase(POD),catalase(CAT),and superoxide dismutase(SOD)—in maize roots gradually increased.At low concentrations,the Ca2+absorption rate in maize roots increased by 82.99%compared to CK.By regulating the Ca2+concentration,the absorption of H+and other ions was affected,enhancing intracellular enzyme activity and improving the tolerance of maize roots to compound pollution.These findings enhance our understanding of the harmful effects of combined pollution from rare earth metals and heavy metals on plants.
